My second outing of the year was to American Lake 4-11-16. All equipment was in working order. Well except for that annoying oil warning beep. To bad they don’t have recalls for outboards.
The morning was cloudy and cool. Tomorrow there is wind and rain in the forecast but the barometer was steady when I left my house before 6am.
Started fishing at 7am using 2 rods. Not much on the fish finder screen for kokanee. After multiple setup changes I landed a trout at 8:30am. Then an even bigger trout on the other rod with the camera. Rebaited turned around and another slammed my offering and yanked it out of the clip. Lost it after it jumped. I quit about 10am with the two trout on ice.
Then I came home to view the video I recorded while fishing. All of it had both kokanee and trout but the last 18 minutes when I dropped it down to 30 feet. From the first 2 minutes there were multiple kokanee who came calling and got behind the lure and turned away. I didn’t have any scent on the corn with live maggots. But the corn was about 4 weeks old. They did not like it. I have learned!
But they were interested in Dick Nite Dodgers and Wannafish A Lure lures.
